Arms just as important as legs W4R2

Back on it today after a week’s enforced break due to the snow.

Discovered today that using my arms more when my legs are knackered distracts my brain from my jelly legs and keeps me moving. Nice trick that got me through the 5 minutes at the end today! Nearly half way which is amazing to me!

Great run... anything that distracts the brain is good... enjoy closing week 4 out.

Arms are crucial and help considerably when going uphill.

Keep 'em swinging!
